Seven goals conceded in two games at Santiago Bernabeu. Two heavy losses. Battered in El Clasico. Nine points behind Barcelona on La Liga table. Won just six points in four Champions League games. Bellingham, Mbappe and Vinicius Jr – that so-called BMV trio – are below par at the moment, instead of being the world’s most lethal attacking trio.Endrick and Arda Guler, predestined to be the team’s future stars, are left at the bench frustrated with the lack of playing minutes.What a shock! Ancelotti gets taught by his old side in all-time UCL classicIt’s only November 6, and plenty of time remains on the clock for this season to be salvaged from the wreck. However, it seems that Carlo Ancelotti has lost his good old mojo.Since the start of the campaign, he has raised his eyebrow more than a few times, but after a few late rescues (against Celta Vigo and Borussia Dortmund, for instance), the dreadful outcomes came knocking on Real Madrid’s doors.Hansi Flick’s Barcelona tore them into pieces at Santiago Bernabeu recently (4-0), which triggered an avalanche of criticism towards the Italian tactician. The Champions League tie against AC Milan – the former Ancelotti side with whom he won two UCL titles – seemed like a perfect chance for a redemption. Alas, it turned out to be just another step towards the abyss for Carletto and his star-studded squad that keeps underperforming. The seventh-placed Serie A slot brushed them aside 3-1.Another Carlo Ancelotti masterclass pic.twitter.com/o60TrT29gj— Troll Football (@TrollFootball) November 6, 2024 Speaking post-match, Ancelotti admitted that he is concerned about his side’s current situation.”We have to be worried, because in the last few games the team has not been in good shape. We lack solidity. It’s just that we don’t defend well, and the team is not compact. We have to be more compact, more orderly.”He also confirmed that the reason he withdrew Federico Valverde at half time was because of injury, not for tactical reasons.”Valverde was not 100%, he had discomfort in his back. Yesterday, he trained well, but he felt that pain in the first half, and we decided to substitute him,” explained Ancelotti, whose move was previously met with vocal criticism coming from none other than Fede Valverde’s wife on social media.Troubles are all over the place for Galacticos 2.0.##NAJAVA_MECA_8481551##
